    I wonder what the failure mode is for those things.

    If it's just a burned out capacitor, I could probably fix it myself. I'm fairly handy with multimeter and soldering gun.

    If it's a failed surface mount chip with 30 pins, that's beyond my pay grade...

    I would keep it for parts if it’s not an issue space wise

    right now some parts are impossible to get , takes weeks to get them .

    how much will that cost you in lost revenue to have your trust not working for three or four weeks while you wait for some stupid sensor from China ?

    having a parts rig is nice .
    And it will save you a ton of money and time .

    Do you have a handy man around that could pull the parts off while you are on the road and overnight them to you? If so keep the truck,If not pick what you want off the truck and sell it fast.
